This month marks 20 years of writing Military Update. I've used it only three times to editorialize about news events including President Clinton's sex scandal while commander in chief and President George W. Bush worrisome plan to invade Iraq a month before it happened.

This week I do so again to shed light on a disturbing new force that is confusing veterans and darkening attacks on the Department of Veterans Affairs during the current health appointments scandal. I refer to a well-funded group called Concerned Veterans for America.
